Seeking to complete a newly unlocked rare artifact? Then this post is for you!

There are two rare Nerubian artifacts:

고대 신의 축복 requiring 140 fragments with 3x 네루비안 방첨탑 that can be used (have not yet personally acquired this)

요그사론의 수수께끼 상자 requiring 140 fragments with 3x 네루비안 방첨탑 that can be used (have not yet personally acquired this)

While I may not have solved all 32 archaeological rares (I have 24 thus far), after hundreds of hours dedicated to the cause I can say this - there is a method to the madness! And I say madness because archaeology is one profession that should not be taken lightly. Get ready to dig... Lots.

When you arrive at a dig site, take a look around you. The surrounding mobs will generally be the best indication of what kind of archaeological finds you may uncover while surveying there. If you're surrounded by ogres, or something less obvious, then consider what the local settlements are predominantly comprised of, or who the local lore is related to.

In the Hinterlands or STV you'll be surrounded by throngs of trolls - and whadya know, the Troll Archaeology Finds go hand in hand. Wetlands, Badlands and Burning Steppes are all known for their dwarven dwellings - and similarly, so are most the archaeological finds. If animals dominate the land, then appropriately you will often find fossils.

Archaeologically speaking, the Night Elves thoroughly dominate Kalimdor, Dwarves and Trolls the Eastern Kingdoms, and Fossils neatly scattered across both. Outlands are only for the Orcs and Draenei archaeological finds. While Northrend is proving most interesting with Night Elvish and Troll Fragments popping up in addition to the expected Nerubian and Vrykul Fragments. For anything Tol'Vir, it's all in Uldum and Uldum alone (will update if this changes). Unfortunately, dig site spawn locations in Uldum share the same continent as Kalimdor - maximum total of four. This means you're gonna have to keep digging Fossil & Night Elf Frags (among others) all over Kalimdor in order to possibly have the Uldum dig sites spawn. Stay tuned!

There are always exceptions to every rule, but you'll find by and large that the above theory holds true. For those of you seeking dig site locations only, see below.

Nerubian digsites are ridiculously sparse, given how many are needed to gather all the Nerubian artifacts. The Northrend spread looks something like this (comparing the two types of archaeology fragment that are only available in Northrend, and showing all the sites I have found)...

There may be several I haven't found, but it doesn't take a genius to realise you will have completed all the Vrykul ones several times over before you can hope to complete your Nerubian collection. I suspect (and hope) they will add more Nerubian digsites. In fact, this may have been intended... there are potential spots at Voltarus, Zeramas and Naxxramas to name a few.

Totally agree. Plus you need to factor in the other Night Elf and Troll sites which reduce the chances even further.

Many feel Tol'vir is bad but at least there are something like nine dig sites available, with nearly half as many Nerubian. Five hours surveying and one Nerubian item solved says it all.

Makes sense given the paucity of Nerubian sites, to clear them as soon as one spawns.

Found another Nerubian site in Azjol Nerub

I have to say in the past 3 hours I have been at this I have only found 4 Nerubian Digsites. I managed to solve 1 artifact so far and trying to get the Seven Scepters Achievement. This is extremely hard as I have been getting mostly Vrykul fragments like crazy. Solved numerous things for them and Nerubians are crazy hard to get ahold of. I'm always checking my map and watching Archy for the new sites for Nerubian to pop up on it. And just when I think I have another Vrykul solved and I look up at Archy ** Fingers Crossed ** for a Nerubian digsite... What do I get....More Vrykul! Rofl! Ah well...I'll just keep plugging away and looking for that Scepter of Nezar'Azret.

Don't think for a minute this is going to be an easy grind. If you have read the above posts you will see that this is not something to be taken lightly.

Got my first rare to appear for Nerubian at 9 solves.

Edit: Found the Puzzle Box of Yogg Saron as my 13th solve for nerubians which finished up their artifacts for me.

Some of the Nerubian digsites are placed at fallen necropolises. I have not read any lore about this, but belive they are creations of the Nerubians. If you g back to Ahn Qiraji you can also see floating stone ornaments and structure like creations.

Nerubian digs seem to be about as common as either the Night Elf and Troll Digs in Northrend, so unless you're planning on just farming Northrend digs a lot for the rare few times you end up with a Nerubian dig, I highly recommend suplementing your Nerubian Archaeology Fragments with the Nerubian Obelisk keystones whenever able.

A Nerubian dig site just spawned for me at Terrorweb Tunnel in Eastern Plaguelands. It seems they may have added more digs in 4.0.6.

i also just found that site in eastern plaguelands, kind of makes sense there would be one there due to all the scourge nerubians around. It would have been right next to present day northrend before the shattering.

They are found in Eastern Kingdoms too - I just unearthed them in EP at the Plaguewood digsite...

For some reason, the addon Archy is convinced that these exist in Eastern Kingdoms as well as Northrend... is this just a bug, or is it true?

There are comments above yours that state that there are EK nerubian digsites.Please read before posting/look before you leap.

If you are farming for these, make sure to go clear a site as soon as it spawns. Don't let them accumulate.
